Okay, there are certainly some bad cops out there, from everything I’ve seen on this there was no reason to shoot. There therapist wall yelling to the copy “It’s a toy truck, it’s a toy truck” and the policeman had to have heard him. Such a shame. I don’t get it.
One thing that might be contributing is the BML movement and killing of police officers. It certainly would make one a bit quick on the trigger, however, from everything I saw this was not one of those quick decision instances.
This is not a justified shooting at all IMHO.
The police claim that they didn't hear him. So if they were so far away that they couldn't hear him and so far away that they couldn't determine the autistic kid was holding a truck then how could they possibly know that someone was in danger?
